HEAR AND KNOW GOD’S VOICE

“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. I and My Father are one.” (John 10:27‭-‬30 NKJV).

“But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ”. (I Corinthians 2:14‭-‬16 NKJV).

“And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?” He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: ‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand, And seeing you will see and not perceive; For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.’ But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear; for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it. “Therefore hear the parable of the sower: When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside. But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles. Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”
(Matthew 13:10‭-‬23 NKJV)

““And to the angel of the church in Sardis write, ‘These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God. Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you. You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’ “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, ‘These things says He who is holy, He who is true, “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens” : “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” (Revelation 3:1‭-‬13 NKJV).

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
I John 5:4-5

ONLY TRUST

TRUST IN AND RELY CONFIDENTLY ON THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART And do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him, And He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way]. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord [with reverent awe and obedience] and turn [entirely] away from evil. It will be health to your body [your marrow, your nerves, your sinews, your muscles—all your inner parts] And refreshment (physical well-being) to your bones.
Proverbs 3:5‭-‬8 AMP

“TRUST IN THE LORD , and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord , And He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord , Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass”.(Psalms 37:3‭-‬5 NKJV).

When you trust God, Galatians 2:20 becomes your lifestyle, which says:
I am crucified with Christ: neverthelessI live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me…

+++Think about this, Christ lives in you. How? Through the Holy Spirit.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
19 What? know all of you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which all of you have of God, and all of you are not your own?
20 For all of you are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
+++The Holy Spirit is in you so Christ can live through you.

Remember you were crucified (died) with Christ when He died on the cross. Your newness of life now is all about Christ.

When you think it’s in His mind (you have the mind of Christ). When you speak, it’s His Words which is in your heart. When you act it’s In His strength and the Power of His Might.

Philippians 2:13 says,
For it is God which works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
+++Remember you have laid down (sacrificed) your life in Christ. Now the life you live is for Christ and His glory.
Matthew 26:41 …the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

The spirit is willing: You are predisposed (always ready) in your spirit by the Holy Spirit to obey God. You are strong in your spirit by the Holy Spirit.

The flesh is weak: The weakness of the flesh is it’s susceptibility to sin and it’s inability to obey God.
Remember what Romans 8:8-9 says,” So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But all of you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.”

However,Galatians 5:16-17 says,
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, (let the Spirit make the decision) and all of you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that all of you cannot do the things that all of you would.

But thanks be to God you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you, Phil 4:13. “AND THEY THAT ARE CHRIST’S HAVE CRUCIFIED THE FLESH WITH THE AFFECTIONS AND LUSTS. IF WE LIVE IN THE SPIRIT,LET US ALSO WALK IN THE SPIRIT”{Galatians 5:24~25}.
Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

SPEAK THE WORD

++Let Go and Trust God++

•Have you ever had something to say to someone and wanted to say it the right way, at the right time, but you were also angry with the person?

•Here are some fundamental principles of scripture that will help you.

“That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

LET NO CORRUPT COMMUNICATION PROCEED OUT OF YOUR MOUTH, BUT THAT WHICH IS GOOD TO THE USE OF EDIFYING, THAT IT MAY MINISTER GRACE UNTO THE HEARERS.

And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you”. (Ephesians 4:22‭-‬26‭, ‬28‭-‬32 KJV).

Then James 1:19-20 says this:

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath, For the wrath of man works not the righteousness of God.

Proverbs 15:1-2 puts it this way,

” A soft answer turns away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. The tongue of the wise uses knowledge aright”…

Then James 3:2 breaks it down like this.

…If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man…

However Ecclesiastes 7:9 reminds us:

Be not hasty in your spirit to be angry: for anger rests in the bosom of fools.

•Always be willing to let the anger go, trust God and communicate in love.

“Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil”. [2 Thessalonians 3:1‭-‬3 KJV].

Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

THE POWER WITHIN 

+You are powered and empowered by God.

“Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you”. (Luke 10:19 KJV).

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth”. (Acts 1:8 KJV).

Then Ephesians 3:20 reminds us , of our inner power.

Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the POWER that works in us…

•Remember the omnipotent, miraculous, supernatural, unlimited and inexhaustible Power of God works in us, through us and for us.

•God the Holy Spirit in us produces the Power that works in us.

• This power is to be exercised and used against sickness, disease, poverty, the devil and demons and the list goes on. For examples on the demonstration of the Power of God please read the Four Gospels and the Book of Acts. You will see the Master (Jesus) in action with His Apostles and Disciples. We are a His Disciples.

•From the very beginning God gave man dominion (authority & Power) over all the earth, Genesis 1:26 & 28.

•Man’s failure to exercise this awesome Power has caused him ALL his troubles, and some of us ignorantly blame God for our troubles.

•For some of us let’s stay on track. For others let’s get back on track, and for all of us let’s live this life of Power that we have of God through our Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

JUST BELIEVE

It’s only when you kill or destroy the weeds of doubt,fear,unbelief,etc. Only then you will see that small mustard seed grow into a tree planted by the rivers of the word.

So pull up,pluck up ,and destroy the things that’s killing your faith. Do it now in the Mighty Name of JESUS. Amen.

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: FOR HE THAT COMETH TO GOD MUST BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him”.(Hebrews 11:6 KJV).

You have an Emergency believe in God.

EMERGENCY means to Emerge in God’s presence . He will keep you in perfect PEACE when your mind is on Him.
He tells us not to make His book depart from us, but to meditate on and in it day and night.
So when there is an emergency. Just emerge in His presence, where there is fullness of joy, and at His right hand PLEASURES forever. AMEN.

The big five of believe
1. Believe comes by hearing
2. Believe is to know by faith now
3. Believe must be spoken
4. We must believe to see, not see to believe
5. Believe is a product of faith you must believe to do

Romans 10:13,14
John 5:24
2 Corinthians 4:18, 4:13-15, 5:7

IN CONCLUSION

Mark 11:22 said:
And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have FAITH in God.
+Why have FAITH in God?
Because Hebrews 11:6 says But without faith it is impossible to please Him (God)…
+Your FAITH in God must be UNCONDITIONAL FAITH. This is a FAITH that has it foundation in the WORD of God and God Himself. This FAITH is flat out and all out in God without conditions.
Proverbs 3:5
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
+This application of FAITH is the Key principle we need to exercise in order to obtain the promises of God.
+Do not give up on your Faith in God. Your Faith is working. Keep on trusting in the Lord.
+I pray for you that your FAITH do not fail in The Almighty Name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen!
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for our lives. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

WHO IS GOD..

Our God is Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent and He is from everlasting to everlasting (without beginning and without end).

God’s faithfulness is so dependable; it will fill you with awe to discover how much He loves you. His love is unconditional, meaning He always loves you, not just when you do something right.

He is beyond Awesome, beyond Description and beyond Comprehension. There is none like Him. He alone is God and besides Him (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) there is no other.

And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
[Revelation 21:6-8 ].

+God argues with no one because He is always right.
+God is the easiest Person to love because He is perfect in every way.
+God is the easiest Person to trust because He cannot lie (Titus 1:2).
+Personally we all should have no problems with God at all, (can I get a amen!).
+++When God has total control of our lives, nothing will ever get out of control.
+++Continuing to love Him with all your heart and trust in Him with all your heart, (Mark 12:30; Proverb 3:5-6).

God’s Amazing GRACE
Ephesians 2:8
For by GRACE we are saved…
+Grace is God imparting His righteousness, holiness, Holy Spirit and favor in us, upon us through us by the redemptive of His Son Jesus Christ.
+Grace is the God given ability in us to do all that pertains to life and Godliness.
+Grace are spiritual faculties given to us in the form of gifts, talents, and abilities by the Holy Spirit.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
“Jesus said to the Apostle Paul: My grace is sufficient for you: for My strength is made perfect in your weakness. And Paul said: Most gladly I will rather glory in my infirmities (weaknesses), that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
for when I’m weak then I’m strong.
+We need God’s GRACE today and everyday for the rest of our lives.
+Thank God for His AMAZING GRACE.
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

THE POWER OF GOD’S WORD

The Power of God’s Word in us.
1Thess 2:13
For this cause we also thank God without ceasing, because, when all of you received the Word of God which all of you heard of us, all of you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in TRUTH, the WORD of GOD, which EFFECTUALLY WORKS also in you who BELIEVE.
Effectual: capable of producing all intents and purposes.
(Heb 4:12 AMP)
For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power making it active, operative, energizing, and effective…
•The WORD of God in us is Alive, Active, Operative, Energizing and Effective. It is capable of producing all the intents and purposes of God in us and through us.
•When we take man made medication we have no issues expecting the intents and purposes that medication is supposed to produce.
•How much more then shall we expect the Word of God to produce in us the intents and purposes of God in our lives.
•Remember what Jesus said in Matthew 4:4. Man shall not live by bread alone but by every Word proceeds of the Mouth of God.
+++Let the Word of God be the standard for your life.

Reasons for Studying God’s Word
2 Timothy 2:15 tells us to,
Study to show yourself approved untoGod, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Matthew 4:4
Jesus answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
•Why study God’s Word?
1. God said to do it, plus it shows our love, commitment and obedience to Him.
2. God wants all His Children to be learned and scholarly in His Word.
3.The Word of God is the basis by which we know God.
4.The Word of God is our instruction manual for living.
5. The Word of God is infallible, and the only reliable source about the past, present and the future.

•Continue to make God’s Word your daily study and your daily bread.
Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

Wisdom

Proverb 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
1. In the Kingdom of God we walk by Faith, we live by the Word of God, and we are led by the Holy Spirit. In the world they walk by sight, sense and circumstance.
2. Do not judge by cost but by worth. Is it worth it?
3. If you don’t suffer the pain of discipline you will suffer the pain of regret.
4. If you believe a lie long enough it will become the truth you. A lie believed then lived is a stronghold.
5. The only Scriptures you truly believe are the ones you obey. Your obedience displays your fruit, and you fruit characterizes who you are.
+++Remember Proverb 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all your getting get understanding.
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!

ANGER MANAGEMENT 

Spiritual Anger Management

Ecclesiastes 7:9 says :

“Be not hasty in your spirit to be angry: for anger rests in the bosom of fools”.

However , Ephesians 4:26-27 tells us to,

“Be all of you angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath (or anger); Neither give place to the devil.

James 1:20-23
for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror;

LISTEN

•Anger out of control gives the devil entrance into your life.

•Uncontrolled anger causes violence, hurts, breaks in relationships and sad to say even deaths.

•When you walk in love, joy, and peace you nullify and bring to nothing the vicious beast of anger.

•Continue to walk in love, joy and peace and keep anger defeated. Because, anger leads you to bitterness,and you don’t want to swallow the pill of bitterness.

BITTERNESS my friends is POISON

Avoid BITTERNESS in your Heart Towards Others.
+BITTERNESS besides being the opposite of sweet is a harsh and intense hostility with evil ill feelings and thoughts in the heart towards others.
+BITTERNESS is SIN, and also a deadly evil poison.
+It forms Unforgiveness, resentment and ungodly anger in the heart.
+The poison of BITTERNESS cannot be diagnosed or treated by medical science.
+If BITTERNESS is not dealt with from the heart it will spread to throughout the spirit, soul, mind, and bodies.
+It then becomes a detriment to our relationships with God, and with each other, and our well-being.
+Bitterness also jeopardizes our salvation.
+The cure for Bitterness is Repentance, Forgiveness and walking in the LOVE of God.
Ephesians 4:31-32
31 Let all BITTERNESS, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
32 And be you kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake has forgiven you.
•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our Faith, Trust and Confidence in Him.
•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

YOU HAVE A CHOICE.
